Natural medicine refers to a broad range of healing practices that are based on using natural remedies and treatments derived from nature. This type of medicine emphasizes prevention, holistic health and wellness, and uses therapies such as herbalism, acupuncture, homeopathy, naturopathy, and traditional Chinese medicine to promote overall health and balance in the body.
The goal of natural medicine is to address the root cause of illness or disease rather than just treating symptoms with pharmaceutical drugs. It focuses on using natural substances such as herbs, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients to promote healing and restore balance in the body.
Natural medicine is also known as alternative medicine or complementary medicine because it complements conventional medical treatments and offers an additional approach to healthcare that emphasizes prevention and wellness rather than just treating illness.
